just whaqt is mylar?? is it a thread or is it fabric or somthing else i keep seeing the name crop up but still cannot make out just what it is.please help

Mylar is an iridescent tissue film which is used like an applique fabric under light density stitching to give a sparkle effect. Would be good for cards. Colours are available but prone to colour bleed if used on garments which have to be washed. I understand that the opal does not. In UK available in Sainsburys. Gift wrap area, own brand name on pack, £1.25 for 3 sheets approx 500x700mm. Bar code 0155 3178

oohh sainsburys here i come thank you for this one

This link gives answers and sells mylar

I have never purchased any mylar, but from what I have read from many postings of other people, I am assuming it
is a very thin film of plastic that can be placed on top of fabric when stitching a design to give a unique array of colors. I think the mylar comes in several different
colors, and the irridescent color being one of the most popular. The mylar can be purchased at most craft stores. Hope I am correct on this; if not maybe someone else will come along to give a better answer!
